If you’re taking a romantic honeymoon cruise to Perfect Day at CocoCay, it helps to know which parts of the island you should fit into the day’s itinerary there are so many things to see and do. On their honeymoon trip, most couples make a beeline for Chill Island® when they arrive to kick back and soak up the sunshine. This serene stretch of beach along the island’s western coast is the go-to place for tranquil vibes and max relaxation. It’s where you’ll find sand as soft and white as powdered sugar and clear blue waters dotted with colorful coral — plus a floating bar just offshore that’s perfect for cooling down with your favorite tropical drink. There are plenty of complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas available for use on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dial things up with a daybed or a private cabana at Breezy Bay, where you’ll enjoy dedicated attendant service all day long, so you can keep the Coco Locos coming strong.

Some couples choose to spend their honeymoon trip resting and relaxing, but others like to keep their honeymoon ideas adventurous. If you and your partner are all about fast-paced fun and heart-pounding excitement, you’ll be thrilled that Perfect Day at CocoCay is also one of the most adventurous honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean. It’s home to Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest waterslide in the Caribbean at 135 feet, the largest wave pool in the Caribbean, and two towers loaded with high-octane single- and multi-rider slides, including options like twin 75-foot drop slides and double open-flume racers.
You’ll find them all at Thrill Waterpark, just a few steps from the entrance to the island. Admission to the park is extra, but here’s a little-known honeymoon trip tip — book a cabana inside Thrill Waterpark and you’ll enjoy complimentary admission for up to eight guests, plus your own private space close to all the action with dedicated attendant service.

You just got married — you should pencil in some time on your honeymoon cruise to celebrate your recent nuptials! And you won’t find a better place to turn up than Oasis Lagoon — the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean and also the best party spot in the tropics. If you want to work on your golden honeymoon glow, claim any of the in-water loungers that run along the perimeter of the pool. Or lounge out on any of the lagoon’s three swim-up islands and coves — each is set up with in-water seating.
In the afternoons, a DJ keeps the beats coming strong while a team of talented bartenders at the swim -up bar sling drinks and whip up the island’s signature cocktail, the Coco Loco. Conga lines are known to start up spontaneously, and dancing is always a given. But while the party at Oasis Lagoon might be nonstop, you can still enjoy your honeymoon vacation by kicking back and relaxing close by. Treat yourself and your partner in adventure to a private cabana near the lagoon, and escape to total zen whenever you’re craving a break from the action.
And more seclusion for the most romantic honeymoon cruise. It’s all part of what makes this cruise for your honeymoon one of the most unique and exciting honeymoon vacations available.
